A Virtual Assistant is a self-employed professional and small business owner with the skills of a corporate PA, as well as qualifications and experience gained in a whole range of specialist fields, such as writing and marketing.

Virtual Assistants work independently as your professional partner. They work from fully equipped offices, enabling you to concentrate your time, energy and resources on core activities. Virtual Assistants provide support on one-off projects or on a long term basis, as and when they are required, for the individual, small business or large corporation. Their livelihood depends on the client’s satisfaction.

The services of a Virtual Assistant are extremely cost effective when compared with the real cost of hiring a temp or an employee, which includes the overheads of running an office, employee taxes, insurance, benefits and the cost of recruitment.

With a Virtual Assistant:

• You pay only for the hours worked or services provided
• No need to buy additional office equipment
• No computer training necessary
• Works only when you need a particular service
• No extra office space required
• No loss of privacy

A Virtual Assistant is ideal for the small business, with limited resources, that needs a secretary some of the time but not all of the time, or for the international business person who needs to work in English. A Virtual Assistant is also the ideal person to call for one-off projects or when your secretary is on holiday or sick.
